Free PDF download: Reducing the Cardholder Data Environment

When implementing the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), it is important to define the areas of your organisation to which the Standard will apply. Reducing the CDE can reduce the cost of implementation, but doing so can be a complex and challenging task.

Scoping is the first step on the road to gaining or maintaining PCI DSS compliance. Effective scope reduction can reduce the time and cost of becoming compliant.

This green paper will help organisations that are required to comply with the PCI DSS to reduce their CDE in order to minimise compliance costs and resources.
